Topic on a Page for A Level AQA Biology

Wonderfully visual

D Taborda, Teacher & Reviewer (Politics edition)

Visually engaging A3 posters with concise, easy-to-learn summaries of every specification topic. Help students see the bigger picture on an entire topic.

Activity Posters complement our A Level AQA Topic Tests with original questions and avoid repetition

Included for each of the 11-13 topics:

  1. Summary Poster giving at-a-glance overview
  2. Partially complete Activity Poster to test knowledge
  3. Write-on Worksheet for longer Activity Poster answers
  4. Outline Poster providing the structure to complete revision notes
  5. Mark Scheme giving full answers for the activity poster
  • photocopiable A3 format (or shrink to A4 without loss of detail)
  • diagrams and images illuminate key concepts
  • all required practicals covered
  • exam tips provide guidance in tricky areas
  • 'word clouds' with key terminology stimulate memory and aid revision

What a fantastic idea. These are perfect overviews of key ideas.

P Town, HoD & Peer Reviewer (from English Lang. edition)
Versatile
  • Perfect for end-of-topic consolidation
  • Use as place mats or as a classroom display
  • Great knowledge organisers; perfect revision overviews before exams
  • Partially complete Activity Posters make an excellent homework
Cross-referenced to approved textbooks for the spec:
  • AQA Biology for A Level Year 1 and AS: Second Edition (Oxford University Press)
  • AQA A Level Biology Student Book 1 for A Level Year 1 (Hodder Education)

Great resource... Expertly manages to summaries even large topics onto a single page whilst remaining closely matched to the new AQA specification.

Will really help students when they start to become overwhelmed by the size of the specification and how much there is to learn- really good to chunk it up like this- much more manageable for students.

Honestly really impressed

C Pybus, HoD and Peer Reviewer

Excellent! We love the 3 different stages of the posters – one for display on the wall (complete), one with prompts for pupils to do themselves is initially and the version for fuller completion.

Promotes revision in an organised fashion and in an independent way.

A James, Head of Sixth Form Biology and ZigZag Customer

A good additional revision resource for students. Helped them to organise content and structure their revision.

What do teachers say about this resource? (6180)

I think the design to the resource is well thought out and it works as a good summary resource for students at the end of Year 12 or revising for their terminal exams in Y13. The author has managed to get a lot of detail into the pages without oversimplifying things. There is a good use of diagrams, graphs etc to demonstrate key points.

Students often find it hard to filter out what the key points are in some topics and these sheets break things down quite nicely.

The assessment sheets could be used in a whole number of ways, from homework activities, revision sheets, self-assessment activities or simply provided in Y13 to help with revising work from a year ago.

C Russell, HoD and Peer Reviewer

I like the variety of tasks they are given—descriptions, compare, explanations, suggestions—these last few will push the higher-end students more.

B Collins, Teacher and Peer Reivewer

Very useful as it is specific to AQA specification and provides helpful wall displays of relevant topics. An excellent summary that can be referred to for teaching or revision.

A Jancis, Head of 6th Form Biology and Peer Reviewer

It tells the students exactly what they need to learn so that they can then use their knowledge to practice past papers as the next stage of their revision. Many students spend weeks preparing revision notes and they then run out of time to practice past questions.

L Warnett, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Well matched to the specification and ideal for students to use at review points or to refresh an overview of each section in preparation for examinations. I liked the clear sections for easy retrieval of information, exam tips and word clouds.
